It is sometimes said that the prosecutions of former President Donald Trump are 'backfiring' on Democrats. That is, instead of lowering Trump's political support, they are raising it.
Maybe it's my advanced age talking, but I doubt very much that the conventional wisdom regarding the 2024 presidential election will play out as expected: that is, as a Biden-Trump rematch with the Democratic incumbent winning another relatively close reelection bid.
Hello, dear readers, and welcome back to our monthly letters column. With our inboxes still overflowing, we'll get right down to business.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I am part of a tight-knit group of friends who got closer during the pandemic. I'm not as close to them as some, but I am part of the group. We have been hanging out a lot this summer, and it has been great.
CONCORD, N.H. — The most dangerous place in the country for Donald Trump is Room 206 in the New Hampshire State Capitol.
When Mitch McConnell, the Senate's 81-year-old Republican leader, recently froze up during a news conference, he triggered tremors of trepidation in both parties. If something like that were to afflict 80-year-old Joe Biden or 77-year-old Donald Trump, the whole trajectory of the campaign could be altered in an instant.
So, I got a cold.
DEAR HARRIETTE: Because I've garnered a large following on social media, I get a lot of people asking me how to grow their own online following. While I appreciate the support, I have to admit that I don't really know how to help them. My own following just kind of happened by chance, and I don't have the expertise to make it happen for others.
Today is the 217th day of 2023 and the 46th day of summer.
